“DANISH/DANSK: Godt produkt til prisen! Sidder fint i munden, men skal dog lige rettes lidt til. På afstand ser grillen lidt bulet ud. - Anbefales!”

“Great product, looks good and easy to fit. Problem is 70 mph it vibrates any suggestions on cure?”

“I had always felt that the radiator on an MX5 is particularly prone to damage from flying stones so while in the immaculate MX5 Parts showroom in Portsmouth I decided to buy a protective grille. I think it was good value at under £30 considering that I was quoted over £200 to replace the radiator on another car I own.I would liken fitting this item as being marginally less difficult than alligator wrestling but it was a close-run thing. It took something around an hour to fit it and I had to enrol my wife to help - a true sign of desperation. Before you jump to the conclusion that I am a clumsy klutz I would mention that I did once build a Lotus Elan from a kit so I am not exactly inexperienced in car mechanics.Now that it is on I must say that it looks pretty smart and I'll be much less anxious next time a stone flies up. Probably if I chose again I'd buy black as opposed to stainless steel but that's a matter of taste. I can't say if the change in airflow to the radiator will result in overheating as a don't think the air temperature has exceeded 6 degrees C since I fitted it but it might be a point to consider.”

“As we all know the mouth on this car is a trap for debris which could cause damage to the radiator. This piece of equipment gives some protection from such damage. It took me longer to get my tools out than it did to fit. Approximately 8 minutes from start to finish.It can be enhanced by replacing the original bolts with stainless steel ones and the use of stainless steel penny washers. These are available from Screwfix in small quantity. M6 X 20mm bolts and M6 penny washers in A2 stainless will not rust and preserve the appearance.Now to delivery, I ordered on line on Sunday and stated that there would be someone at home to take delivery on Wednesday.At 0830 on Wednesday the postman delivered the Grille well packaged.Great Product, Great Service.Thaks to MX5parts.Colin PatersonRosneath,Argyll”
